Weird Al is coming to play the Grand Ol' Opry in Nashville in June, and I got tickets and backstage passes again (thanks Doreen, and thanks Steve Jay)!

As you may recall, last year I presented Al with a CD containing a song I'd written for his daughter. I wanted to have something new to give him this year, and I thought, he's playing the Grand Ol' Opry, of all places... that's crazy! And as he often puts a Polka Medley on his albums, I thought, why not make a Country Medley of Al's songs? WHY NOT?

Ummm... here's why not.
